farewell for awhile

so i leave for vacation tomorrow. i remember when we did this vacation last year, i was so stressed out before we left. and i'm stressed a little this year, but for different reasons. first of all, i've known we'd be doing this for awhile (you know, more than three or four days), so that's big...

i'm looking forward to it. i like freezing my butt off, i guess. N says i need to pack more clothes, so i'll go work on that in a bit. it's time to start wrapping stuff up in the house. i think we'll be alright on this. we have a dog sitter coming in for miss kitty and tallulah. and N's brother p will help, too. all in all, i'm feeling comfortable with things.

i still have much work to do when i get back...on myself. but i think it's alright to have a good vacation with my spouse and kids until i can do that... and i can't express how much i look forward to just some boring times when i get back. i'm ready for the holidays and vacation to be a fond memory and the path to be steady ahead...

peace
